I Forgot Oracle XE Password for Database administrator user "system"

Member Posts: 4
Hello,
is there a chance to get my password back for the database administraor account with the username "system" or to reset it otherwise? Unfortunately I have no change to remember it. Is there help for that problem?

If you would like to change password:
you login to sys and then change password of some users if you need
linux:
export ORACLE_SID=XE
export ORACLE_HOME=<ORACLE_PATH>
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter user system identified by <new_pass>;
window:
set ORACLE_SID=XE
set ORACLE_HOME=<ORACLE_PATH>
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter user system identified by <new_pass>;

Hi,
I guess I would also do a
alter user SYS identified by <new pass>;
During installation, I believe both passwords (SYS and SYSTEM) are set the same.

How can I login as sys? Is there a chance, I cannot remember any password? Thanks for help.

How can I login as sys?You already got the answer...
set ORACLE_SID=XE
sqlplus / as sysdba
That's OS authentication, you can connect as SYS user without providing any password. Then you can change any passwords you want. -
Thanks, that worked!

That is good!
Could you please give some rewards points for correct and/or helpful answers? HunterX should deserve some

Thanks,
